Manage and Secure your IT Assets

Security and Governance for SOA and the Cloud

 

 

Layer 7 helps organizations manage and secure their IT assets by letting them control, monitor and adapt their Web services no matter where they originate – in the enterprise or in the cloud – using a turnkey appliance that features sophisticated runtime governance, agent-less Web services management and industry-leading XML security.

 

Achieve Control through Policy Enforcement

The Layer 7 SecureSpan family of products lets you regain control by enforcing policies for all the services in use by your organization according to the risk each one poses.

  • Enforce SOA security
    • Deploy a centralized policy enforcement point in-house or in the cloud
    • Gain policy-driven authentication and fine-grained, service level authorization
    • Enforce policies according to risk
  • Ensure reliability
    • Ensure data confidentiality over the wire and at rest
    • Ensure services remain readily available
    • Verify messages to ensure integrity
  • Facilitate compliance
    • Generate log and audit files at multiple levels
    • Export of data for correlation and forensic analysis
    • Verify messages for compliance to industry or government-mandated specifications

Gain Visibility by Monitoring Services

The Layer 7 Enterprise Service Manager gives you the tools to help you manage and monitor the day-to-day operation of all your SecureSpan Gateways and associated services across your extended enterprise, around the globe and into the cloud.

  • Ensure SLA conformance
    • Monitor and manage the health of all your Gateways to ensure you are meeting your own SLAs
    • Monitor, measure and report on SLAs using an agentless management system
    • Ensure you’re getting the value you expect from 3rd-party service providers
  • Ensure Quality of Service
    • Report on the performance of all proxied services
    • Reroute and throttle services to maintain reach-abilty and availability
    • Alert or automate actions based on:
      • Throughput, routing failures, utilization, availability rates, etc
  • Track XML Message Content
    • Identify trends, exceptions or violations at the message level
    • Report on user, client and system access to sensitive data

Adapt at the Pace of Business Change

The Layer 7 solution allows you to facilitate change by decoupling those aspects of your services that change the most (including security, SLAs, compliance, etc) and instantiating them as policies at a central enforcement point that can be deployed in-house or in the cloud.

  • Gain SOA Policy Agility
    • Decouple security, SLA, compliance and other shared code from services
    • Modify existing or deploy new policies on the fly, in-house and in the cloud
    • Migrate policies between environments (dev, test, production, etc), geographies and settings (enterprise, cloud, etc), while automatically resolving dependencies such as IP addresses; differently named LDAPs, etc
    • Assemble policies without coding using out-of-the-box assertions
    • Tailor your solution via custom assertions
  • Gain Deployment Flexibility
    • Deploy in-house or in the cloud
    • Leverage multiple form factors:
      • Hardware appliance
      • Soft appliance (VMware)
      • Software (Linux and Solaris)
      • Amazon Machine Image
      • Cross-domain client
  • Facilitate Interoperability
    • Leverage out-of-the box integration with leading SOA solutions
    • Facilitate integration with standards-based, open APIs
